Magnetic pin for holding paper onto a ferromagnetic surface (Flying Pin)

ABSTRACT

This device is composed of two pins. Each pin is made of plastic and a piece of magnetic that has opposite magnetic polarity facing each other. The pin can be used as a single unit where it can hold stationery such as papers, envelopes or small pamphlet to a ferromagnetic surface such as metal office cabinet, metal chalk board, refrigerator door or anywhere ferromagnetic surface exist. When used as one single unit the paper or stationery have some degree of rotational freedom and will self-center itself with the heaviest side down. It can also be attached to a center of a personal business card or credit card and be spun like a top vertically, horizontally or upside down on a ferromagnetic surface. However, when used as two individual pin to attach the stationery to a ferromagnetic surface such as metal office cabinet, metal chalk board, refrigerator door or anywhere ferromagnetic surface exist the stationeries will have no degree of rotational freedom and it will be fixed into position.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

The magnetic pin is used for holding paper or stationary onto a ferromagnetic surface and it is made of two pins. Each pin is made of plastic and a piece of magnet in the middle as illustrated in drawing 1. The magnet in each pin is place so that the pole facing each other is of the opposite polarity. Such as north face south or south face north as given in drawing 1. The two pin are identified as top pin or bottom pin as show on drawing 1. The two pins can be used as a single unit as illustrated in drawing 2 or in drawing 3. The Pin can be used as two individual pins as illustrated in drawing 4. When the pins are used as illustrated in drawing 4, the paper will be fixed and cannot rotate freely or self-center. In addition, the removal of the pin will best be done with two hands so that the paper will not fall to the ground. However, there is another arrangement of the pin so that it will only require the usage of one hand to remove the paper as Illustrated in drawing 5. This required the usage of two set of pin together to have the paper held in a fixed position. The advantage of holding the stationary as illustrated in drawing 5 as to dawning 4 is that one can remove the paper in drawing 5 with one hand without worrying that the paper will fall to the floor.

The major difference between my pins to other pins that are in the market today is that my pins do not make hole onto the papers or stationeries or pamphlets that it is holding. In addition, it does not make holes onto the surface that it is attached to. The flying pins hold the paper through friction and magnetic power and then hold itself to the surface through the magnetic attraction. In no ways, does it make holes onto the paper or the stationeries that it is holding or the metal surface that it is attached to. This is the major difference and advantage that my products have over most other product that is in the market today. In addition, my pin can hold or remove the stationary to and from a metal surface with one hand.

DESCRIPTION

Magnetic pin for holding paper onto a ferromagnetic surface (Flying Pin)

This device is composed of two pins. Each pin is made of plastic and a piece of magnetic that has opposite pole facing each other. The pin can be used as a single unit where it can hold stationery such as papers, envelopes or small pamphlet to a ferromagnetic surface such as metal office cabinet, metal chalk board, refrigerator door or anywhere ferromagnetic surface exist. When used as a single unit the paper or stationery have some degree of rotational freedom and will self-center itself with the heaviest side down. It can also be attached to a center of a personal business card or credit card and spin it like a top vertically, horizontally, or upside down on a ferromagnetic surface. However, when used as two individual pin to attach the stationery to a ferromagnetic surface such as metal office cabinet, metal chalk board, refrigerator door or anywhere ferromagnetic surface exist, the stationeries will have no degree of rotational freedom and it will be fixed into the position in which it was placed. In addition, it can be used as a set of two pins to attach a piece of paper onto a ferromagnetic surface. In this arrangement, the paper will have no degree of freedom and offer the advantage of being able to be removed or place with one hand onto a metal surface.

The magnetic pin hold the paper or stationeries or pamphlet through friction and magnetic power and then hold itself to the surface through the magnetic attraction and friction. It does not make hole onto the papers or stationeries or pamphlet that it is holding. In addition, it does not make holes onto the surface that it is attached to. Another advantage of the magnetic pin allows the user to remove the paper or stationeries or pamphlet with one hand without have the stationary or the pin to fall onto the floor. 

1) The magnetic pin can be used as a single unit where it can hold stationery such as papers, envelopes or small pamphlet to a ferromagnetic surface such as metal office cabinet, metal chalk board, refrigerator door or anywhere ferromagnetic surface exist, when used as one single unit the paper or stationery have some degree of rotational freedom and will self-center itself with the heaviest side down. 2) The pin can also be attached to a center of a personal business card or credit card and be spun like a top vertically, horizontally or upside down on a ferromagnetic surface. 3) The pin can be used as two individual pins to attach the stationery to a ferromagnetic surface such as metal office cabinet, metal chalk board, refrigerator door or anywhere ferromagnetic surface exist, the stationeries will have no degree of rotation and it will be fixed into position. 4) The pin can also be used as two pairs of individual pins to attach the stationery to a ferromagnetic surface such as metal office cabinet, metal chalk board, refrigerator door or anywhere ferromagnetic surface exist, the stationeries will have no degree of rotational freedom and it will be fixed into position. However, using two pins to fix the stationary allows one the advantage of being able to remove the pin and the stationery with one hand.
